I was raised between Seattle and Guam, mom in Guam, dad in Seattle. So this is really more of a tribute to where I'm from and the places I've been fortunant enough to call home. The Guam side is going to have Japanese waves for the background and the Seattle side will have the Japanese style smoke flowing in a spiral behind it while the center heart will have a big sunset behind it that will go behind both the waves and the smoke to tie it all together.And the lining? That took a good 7 hours, very very slow work but the lady was really good.
woo.

The Pike Place Market is a big thing in Seattle, if you've ever been it's the coolest.
For everyone that watched MTV and the real world seattle, the place with the guys throwing fish? That's pike place market.
It's just all around awesome.

And the crown is for my step mom who never wanted kids but when I was ten and my real mom pulled the " you guys are going to lunch with your dad" and never came back, my dads wife got stuck with us and she was the BEST mother ever, she sacrificed so much for my little brother and I and she is my queen
She also collects crowns.
No Japanese here, I'm Greek, Irish, Scottish, and Native American.
Commonly refered to as Mut, mostly greek mut.

no my step mom didn't leave, my step mom stepped up to the plate and became the mother she never thought she could be and never had any want need or desire to be and the crown is for her.
My mother and have since patched up our relationship, she made some big mistakes but parenting doesn't come with directions and I got an amazing mother out of the deal (step mom, crown lady) and now my actual mother is one of my best FRIENDS, but she will never really be the "mom" figure to me.
